Ford Sierra RS Cosworth/RS500

[conrod]

I can remember the $120K being asked for the Cossies here! And in the UK they were paying £15995 for a new one! Bring back the bad old days!
I had a similar story to you Steve. Looks like I am only a couple of years older than you, and back then the Escort Cosworth had just been released (1992) I saw a way of buying one cheaply, and did manage to get it back to NZ. I also built a mental spec. 400hp+ 2.3 engine while over there and shipped that back too. I sold it many years later, and still at a small profit (after blowing the big engine up and going back to a "small" 2.0) I think I have owned 4 or 5 Cossies since, and still think they are great cars. If I was in the market again I would try to find a nice unmolested 3 door, either an original Cosworth or an RS500, I think they will be the ones to put away under a cover and watch the value skyrocket
